Career Development Opportunities Overview
The Chickasaw Nation employs unique and innovative programs to enhance its employee’s professional growth within the tribe.
The Chickasaw Leadership Academy offers tribal employees opportunities to develop functional management skills. The leadership academy’s four levels of training (bronze, silver, gold and platinum) each focus on various aspects of management, including planning, communicating, motivating and evaluating.
These opportunities develop a strong relationship between the Chickasaw Nation and its employees, creating more familiarization, understanding and loyalty between the two.
IDP Overview
We offer the opportunity for Chickasaw Nation employees to participate in the tribe’s Individual Development Plan (IDP) program. The IDP program promotes, recognizes and rewards individual achievement by employee growth and development.
The program aims to motivate and challenge employees with objective-based measures that are tied to a monetary incentive reward structure.
